Answer to Question 1

C
If you receive a claim letter threatening legal action against the company you are working for,
notifying your supervisor and the company's legal department would be most appropriate.
Whenever legal action is even remotely possible, you should notify someone in authority.

Answer to Question 2

C
Derek should avoid starting the letter with a threatening or insulting statement when writing the
claim letter. The goal of the claim letter is to get the missing merchandise, to correct the billing
error, or to return the damaged goodsin other words, to get results, not to accuse, to lay
blame, to threaten, or to demand.
